We have a choice

Letters to the Editor

Most citizens of Newport News would agree that we face complex challenges. The current economic situation defies easy options. We need innovative and collaborative solutions to make the best use of the resources we have. The citizens of Newport News need a mayor who approaches our problems with an open mind, who respectfully listens to all perspectives and who gains ownership for efforts to achieve forward-thinking solutions.

McKinley Price is the right person to serve as our next mayor. He has a lifelong track record of commitment and constructive leadership within our community. He believes that Newport News can be even better when people work together for the good of all.

I have known Price for more than 15 years and have seen the quality of his leadership firsthand. He is a deeply ethical man of strong principles who demonstrates the courage of his convictions. He would be an outstanding mayor. You have a choice on May 4.
